Garrett: “Actually, I don’t like to judge. The late 80s were a very bad time for me professionally. A very bad time. If you follow my drift.”
AS A CITIZEN JOURNALIST I DEMAND ACCESS TO THE HALLS OF POWER
From KJ Lopez: Senator Cornyn’s office tells me he was the first senator to use the word “blog” on the Senate floor, this morning: “The news media is of course the main way people get information about government. The media pushes government entities, and elected officials and bureaucrats and agencies to release information that the people have a right to know, occasionally exposing waste, fraud and abuse. And hopefully, more

BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY, 2
Great piece by the NRO’s Tim Graham examining this sudden desire, on the part of credentialed journalists, to shore up their club’s membership list in the wake of the Gannon dustup: Stunned by the liberal mini-tempest over Talon News reporter “Jeff Gannon” (real name: James Guckert) asking a softball question to President Bush on January 26, leaders of the White House Correspondents Association met with Bush press spokesman Scott McClellan
I’ll admit it: [with Howard Kurtz update]
I get a little tingle in my bad place when Glenn takes time out to poke some overmatched Kossack with the irony stick. **** update: A NATION CAN’T TRULY BE FREE UNTIL PICTURES OF “JEFF GANNON” GOING PEE PEE HAVE BEEN PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET! **** update 2: BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY!* **** update 3: Intrepid Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz, the man who went out of his
Eason Jordan shares an amusing anecdote with some of his former big media colleagues
Jordan: “…and then, just as I’m about to pay my little Iraqi ‘escort’ her 4000 dinars –” Howell Raines: “— let me guess: a US Marine sniper takes a shot at you and misses, but manages to kill 2 German reporters and an Al-Jazeera camera man.” Jordan: “No. The little bitch grabs my Pentax Optio S5i and takes off running. And that wasn’t very funny, Howell.” Dan Rather: “Oh, c’mon,
Anomaly
So I’m sitting in my living room, watching live FOXNews coverage of an East LA freeway chase and enjoying my lunch (a low-carb ham and turkey wrap with swiss cheese and sliced jalapeno), when suddenly I hear a very light tapping at my front door. Well, imagine my surprise when I open it and find none other than that Roaming Gnome guy from the Travelocity commercials—only he’s coated in blood
A call to CITIZEN JOURNALISTS
Dig, people. DIG! THE TRUTH (however revolting—and yet, strangely erotic) IS OUT THERE! **** update: Yesterday, when AMERICAblog broke the huge “Hairless former Talon News reporter photographed with a hardon” story, I studied the evidentiary photos provided (as a diligent CITIZEN JOURNALIST really must) and concluded that this whole thing is about Bush’s unwillingness to allow a 4-3 state supreme court decision to dictate an enormous change in social policy.
BREAKING “JEFF GANNON” UPDATE: GANNON RUMORED TO ENJOY MIMOSAS, ORIGAMI; SCOTT MCCLELLAN? BIG “WILL AND GRACE” FAN. DEVELOPING…
A note to those wingers wringing their hands over this loathsome “Jeff Gannon” character: NONE OF THIS is about Gannon being gay. I mean, that photo-rich spread on AMERICAblog with the 15 or so shots of Gannon luxuriating over his own nipples, or Gannon’s soldier-cock standing stiff at attention—coupled with the come-hither ad text directed at other, likeminded men? Completely incidental. In fact, when I contacted John Aravosis about it,
